Electric gloves won't turn December into August.

If it's just your hands look at heated grips. I have heated gloves and i put a set of heated grips on my SGS and couldn't believe the ability to keep my hands warm in the 30's, plus no wires. I installed the plain black ones. I did the install myself and on a 2017 SGS they were plug and play as far as wiring.

I have a mix of Harley and Gerbings and they all work great, I like the last HD stuff I bought with the push button selector switch instead of the turn button controller...I actually was thinking of selling some of my gear because I have some much and some is brand new...
Bottom line , get the best you can.

I ride all winter and I use Gerbings heated gloves, and jacket liner. It makes what would normally be a miserable day, into a pleasurable one. My gloves are going on 16 years old and while they don't get as warm as when new, they have never failed to keep my hands comfortable. The jacket liner works great. 2 years ago I found one that fits me 3xxx, and it works great. I also use a duel thermostat, that controls them separately. The only quirk I find with them is if you unplug the power cord from the controller, while it's calling for power, it blows the 10 amp fuse.You need to turn it off first. I keep a stash of fuses and have located the holder so I can change a fuse in less then 2 minutes. With the liner, you don't need to bundle up with alot of layers. In fact the less you wear, the better it seems to work heat wise. I've ridden town to 15 f with my gear and would be frozen and miserable without it.,,,
